Abstract

Provided herein are DOTA-containing compounds (e.g., compounds of Formula (I)) and complexes that are reactive with an enzyme activator (e.g., a peroxidase) and covalently bind a target analyte (e.g., a protein) in a catalyzed reporter deposition assaying method. The DOTA-containing compounds and complexes are advantageous over existing reporter compounds and complexes because the DOTA moiety allows detection of the reporter moiety by use of mass spectrometry imaging microscopy.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. provisional application U.S. Ser. No. 62/684,573, filed Jun. 13, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Catalyzed reporter deposition (CARD) is a method of signal amplification useful in assaying biological samples for analyte detection. See U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,731,158, 5,583,001, and 5,196,306 which are hereby incorporated by reference. The CARD method utilizes an analyte-dependent enzyme activation system (ADEAS) to catalyze the deposition of reporter groups (e.g., fluorescein, biotin) onto a receptor, the receptor being part of or added to a surface in contact with the components of the assay. These enzymatically deposited labels are detected directly or indirectly, resulting in signal amplification and improved detection limits. Peroxidases, such as horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are the preferred enzymes for the method.
In the method, the peroxidase oxidizes a hydrogen-donating moiety of a substrate conjugate comprising a labeled compound. When the enzyme and the substrate react, a reactive intermediate is formed, which binds covalently with electron-rich residues near the receptor of the reactive intermediate. Hydrogen-donating moieties that are reactive with peroxidase enzymes include substituted phenols, such as tyramides, tyramines, and p-hydroxycinnamoyl-containing compounds. Specific reporters attached to the conjugate can be detected by fluorescence or light microscopy at the specific site of covalent attachment.
An ongoing need exists to identify molecules useful in the CARD method that can effectively bind specific target analytes to improve analyte detection.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The macrocycle 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) is a chelating agent that can be employed in constructing compounds useful in the CARD method of detecting analytes in biological samples. In particular, the chelated form of DOTA can serve as a reporter moiety and be linked to reactive molecules (e.g., phenols) to form a compound that can bind to specific biological target molecules for analyte detection. The present disclosure describes DOTA-tyramide, DOTA-tyramine, and DOTA-cinnamamide compounds, salts, and chelate complexes thereof that are useful for site-specific binding and analyte detection. The DOTA containing compounds offer advantages over existing reporter compounds because the DOTA moiety can be detected directly (e.g., by mass spectrometry based imaging microscopy).

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a series of micrographs showing results of CARD assays employing exemplary compounds of the disclosure. The expression of the intermediate filament protein nestin was detected in normal human kidney podocytes using a goat anti-nestin polyclonal antibody with a rabbit anti-goat secondary horseradish peroxidase/3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) chromogenic assay and standard light microscopy (FIG. 1A). The chromogenic signal for nestin expression was not seen with negative control conditions including without anti-nestin primary antibody (FIG. 1C) or without secondary antibody (FIG. 1B). When DAB was replaced with

exemplary compounds

1, 2, and 3 complexed to Pr³⁺; (FIG. 1E, FIG. 1I, FIG. 1M) or Y³⁺(FIG. 1F, FIG. 1J, FIG. 1N), the complex was oxidized by peroxidase and deposited at the site of the anti-nestin antibody. This specific deposition of complex was detected with an anti-DOTA chelate antibody (clone 2D12.5) chromogenic assay using DAB (FIG. 1E, FIG. 1I, FIG. 1M, FIG. 1F, FIG. 1J, FIG. 1N). Empty DOTA was not recognized by the anti-DOTA chelate antibody (clone 2D12.5), therefore chromogenic signal was not seen in these assay conditions (FIG. 1G, FIG. 1K, FIG. 1O). Nestin-specific signal was not seen without anti-DOTA chelate antibody (FIG. 1H, FIG. 1L, FIG. 1P) or without the DOTA chelate complex in the anti-DOTA antibody assay (FIG. 1D).

FIG. 2 is a series of images showing detection of

compounds

1 and 3 using a mass spectrometry imaging device. The expression of the cytokeratin 7 (CK7) intermediate filament protein was detected in normal human placenta sections (4 μm; formalin fixation and paraffin embedded) with immunohistochemistry using a mouse anti-CK7 primary antibody followed by an anti-mouse secondary horseradish peroxidase/3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) chromogenic assay and a standard light microscope (H). When DAB was replaced with

compound

1 or 3 chelating Pr³⁺ (FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B) or Y³⁺ (FIG. 2C, FIG. 2D), the complex was oxidized by peroxidase and deposited at the site of the anti-CK7 primary antibody. The deposited complexes were detected. Secondary ion mass spectrometry imaging peaks of Pr³⁺ (molecular weight=141 g/mol) and Y³⁺(molecular weight 88.9=g/mol) containing compounds are shown with adjacent final images from the device (FIGS. 2A-D showing signal in white) comparable to the specific staining of the placental syncytiotrophoblast cells shown with standard DAB staining (FIG. 2H) and highlighted on a hematoxylin and eosin stained section (FIG. 2I). The arrow in FIG. 2I refers to the syncytiotrophoblast layer of placenta. As a control, compounds 1 and 3 not chelated to a metal were not recognized by the mass spectrometry imaging device and therefore specific CK7 signal was not seen using these control assay conditions (FIG. 2E, FIG. 2F). The dilution of the compound is shown parenthetically.

A “counterion” or “anionic counterion” is a negatively charged group associated with a positively charged group in order to maintain electronic neutrality. An anionic counterion may be monovalent (i.e., including one formal negative charge). An anionic counterion may also be multivalent (i.e., including more than one formal negative charge), such as divalent or trivalent. Exemplary counterions include halide ions (e.g., F⁻, Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻), NO₃ ⁻, ClO₄ ⁻, OH⁻, H₂PO₄ ⁻, HCO₃ ⁻ HSO₄ ⁻, sulfonate ions (e.g., methansulfonate, trifluoromethanesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, 10-camphor sulfonate, naphthalene-2-sulfonate, naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid-5-sulfonate, ethan-1-sulfonic acid-2-sulfonate, and the like), carboxylate ions (e.g., acetate, propanoate, benzoate, glycerate, lactate, tartrate, glycolate, gluconate, and the like), BF₄ ⁻, PF₄ ⁻, PF₆ ⁻, AsF₆ ⁻, SbF₆ ⁻, B[3,5-(CF₃)₂C₆H₃]₄]⁻, B(C₆F₅)₄ ⁻, BPh₄ ⁻, Al(OC(CF₃)₃)₄ ⁻, and carborane anions (e.g., CB₁₁H₁₂ ⁻ or (HCB₁₁Me₅Br₆)⁻).

The term “leaving group” is given its ordinary meaning in the art of synthetic organic chemistry and refers to an atom or a group capable of being displaced by a nucleophile. See, for example, Smith, March's Advanced Organic Chemistry 6th ed. (501-502). Examples of suitable leaving groups include, but are not limited to, halogen (such as F, Cl, Br, or I (iodine)), alkoxycarbonyloxy, aryloxycarbonyloxy, alkanesulfonyloxy, arenesulfonyloxy, alkyl-carbonyloxy (e.g., acetoxy), arylcarbonyloxy, aryloxy, methoxy, N,O-dimethylhydroxylamino, pixyl, and haloformates. In some cases, the leaving group is a sulfonic acid ester, such as toluenesulfonate (tosylate, —OTs), methanesulfonate (mesylate, —OMs), p-bromobenzenesulfonyloxy (brosylate, —OBs), —OS(═O)₂(CF₂)₃CF₃(nonaflate, —ONf), or trifhioromethanesulfonate (triflate, —OTf). In some cases, the leaving group is a brosylate, such as p-bromobenzenesulfonyloxy. In some cases, the leaving group is a nosylate, such as 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyloxy. The leaving group may also be a phosphineoxide (e.g., formed during a Mitsunobu reaction) or an internal leaving group such as an epoxide or cyclic sulfate. Other non-limiting examples of leaving groups are water, ammonia, alcohols, ether moieties, thioether moieties, zinc halides, magnesium moieties, diazonium salts, and copper moieties. Further exemplary leaving groups include, but are not limited to, halo (e.g., chloro, bromo, iodo) and activated substituted hydroxyl groups (e.g., —OC(═O)SR^aa, —OC(═O)R^aa, —OCO₂R^aa, —OC(═O)N(R^bb)₂, —OC(═NR^bb)R^aa, —OC(═NR^bb)OR^aa, —OC(═NR^bb)N(R^bb)₂, —OS(═O)R^aa, —OSO₂R^aa, —OP(R^cc)₂, —OP(R^cc)₃, —OP(═O)₂R^aa, —OP(═O)(R^aa)₂, —OP(═O)(OR^cc)₂, —OP(═O)₂N(R^bb)₂, and —OP(═O)(NR^bb)₂, wherein R^aa, R^bb, and R^ccare as defined herein).
As used herein, use of the phrase “at least one instance” refers to 1, 2, 3, 4, or more instances, but also encompasses a range, e.g., for example, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 3, from 1 to 2, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 3, or from 3 to 4 instances, inclusive.
A “non-hydrogen group” refers to any group that is defined for a particular variable that is not hydrogen.
These and other exemplary substituents are described in more detail in the Detailed Description, Examples, and claims. The invention is not intended to be limited in any manner by the above exemplary listing of substituents.

Other Definitions

The following definitions are more general terms used throughout the present application.
As used herein, the terms “amplify” and “amplification” as used herein means amplification of reporter signal.
As used herein, the term “deposition” means directed binding of a reactive intermediate to the receptor which results from the formation of a covalent bond.
As used herein, the term “reactive intermediate” means the substrate portion of the conjugate has been primed by the enzyme to bind to the receptor. In the compounds of the disclosure, the phenolic moiety is converted to the reactive intermediate, which can bind to the receptor.
As used herein, the term “salt” refers to any and all salts, and encompasses pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, Berge et al. describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by reference. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid or with organic acids, such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid or by using other methods known in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate-ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, and N⁺(C_1-4alkyl)₄ ⁻ salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate.
The term “solvate” refers to forms of the compound, or a salt thereof, that are associated with a solvent, usually by a solvolysis reaction. This physical association may include hydrogen bonding. Conventional solvents include water, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, DMSO, THF, diethyl ether, and the like. The compounds described herein may be prepared, e.g., in crystalline form, and may be solvated. Suitable solvates include pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and further include both stoichiometric solvates and non-stoichiometric solvates. In certain instances, the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. “Solvate” encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates. Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates.
The term “hydrate” refers to a compound that is associated with water. Typically, the number of the water molecules contained in a hydrate of a compound is in a definite ratio to the number of the compound molecules in the hydrate. Therefore, a hydrate of a compound may be represented, for example, by the general formula R·x H₂O, wherein R is the compound, and x is a number greater than 0. A given compound may form more than one type of hydrate, including, e.g., monohydrates (x is 1), lower hydrates (x is a number greater than 0 and smaller than 1, e.g., hemihydrates (R·0.5 H₂O)), and polyhydrates (x is a number greater than 1, e.g., dihydrates (R·2 H₂O) and hexahydrates (R·6 H₂O)).
The term “tautomers” or “tautomeric” refers to two or more interconvertible compounds resulting from at least one formal migration of a hydrogen atom and at least one change in valency (e.g., a single bond to a double bond, a triple bond to a single bond, or vice versa). The exact ratio of the tautomers depends on several factors, including temperature, solvent, and pH. Tautomerizations (i.e., the reaction providing a tautomeric pair) may catalyzed by acid or base. Exemplary tautomerizations include keto-to-enol, amide-to-imide, lactam-to-lactim, enamine-to-imine, and enamine-to-(a different enamine) tautomerizations.
It is also to be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “isomers”. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers”.
Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers”. When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (−)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”.
The term “polymorph” refers to a crystalline form of a compound (or a salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof). All polymorphs have the same elemental composition. Different crystalline forms usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, storage temperature, and other factors may cause one crystal form to dominate. Various polymorphs of a compound can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions.
The term “biological sample” refers to any sample including tissue samples (such as tissue sections and needle biopsies of a tissue); cell samples (e.g., cytological smears (such as Pap or blood smears) or samples of cells obtained by microdissection); samples of whole organisms (such as samples of yeasts or bacteria); or cell fractions, fragments or organelles (such as obtained by lysing cells and separating the components thereof by centrifugation or otherwise). Other examples of biological samples include blood, serum, urine, semen, fecal matter, cerebrospinal fluid, interstitial fluid, mucous, tears, sweat, pus, biopsied tissue (e.g., obtained by a surgical biopsy or needle biopsy), nipple aspirates, milk, vaginal fluid, saliva, swabs (such as buccal swabs), or any material containing biomolecules that is derived from a first biological sample.
The term “tissue” refers to any biological tissue of a subject (including a group of cells, a body part, or an organ) or a part thereof, including blood and/or lymph vessels, which is the object to which a compound, particle, and/or composition of the invention is delivered. A tissue may be an abnormal or unhealthy tissue, which may need to be treated. A tissue may also be a normal or healthy tissue that is under a higher than normal risk of becoming abnormal or unhealthy, which may need to be prevented. In certain embodiments, the tissue is the central nervous system. In certain embodiments, the tissue is the brain.

EXAMPLES

In order that the invention described herein may be more fully understood, the following examples are set forth. The examples described in this application are offered to illustrate the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods provided herein and are not to be construed in any way as limiting their scope.
Compounds of Formula I may be prepared using the synthetic schemes described below.

Preparation of Exemplary Compounds

Compound 1 was prepared by the following synthetic scheme.
Compound 2 was prepared by the following synthetic scheme.
Compound 3 was prepared by the following synthetic scheme.
Metal loading of the exemplary compounds was accomplished by the following scheme.

Assays

Assays were performed to demonstrate the ability of chelate complexes of the exemplary compounds to function in a catalyzed reporter deposition assaying method.
Tables A-F below describe the stepwise procedure of the assays.
Table A (anti-nestin positive control) provides the assay procedure for demonstrating the expression of the intermediate filament protein nestin detected in normal human kidney podocytes using a goat anti-nestin polyclonal antibody with a rabbit anti-goat secondary horseradish peroxidase/3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) chromogenic assay and standard light microscopy (FIG. 1A).
Tables B and C provide the assay procedures for demonstrating that the chromogenic signal for nestin expression is not seen with negative control conditions including without anti-nestin primary antibody (Table C; FIG. 1C) or without secondary antibody (Table B; FIG. 1B).
Table D provides the assay procedure for demonstrating that the nestin-specific signal is not seen without the DOTA chelate complex in the anti-DOTA antibody assay (FIG. 1D).
Table E provides the assay procedure for evaluating exemplary compounds 1, 2, and 3 having DOTA complexed to Pr³⁺ (FIG. 1E, FIG. 1I, FIG. 1M) or Y³⁺ (FIG. 1F, FIG. 1J, FIG. 1N) or not complexed (FIG. 1G, FIG. 1K, FIG. 1O). In each assay the complex was oxidized by peroxidase and deposited at the site of the anti-nestin antibody. This specific deposition of complex was detected with an anti-DOTA chelate antibody (clone 2D12.5) chromogenic assay using DAB. Empty DOTA is not recognized by the anti-DOTA chelate antibody (clone 2D12.5), therefore chromogenic signal was not seen in these assay conditions (FIG. 1G, FIG. 1K, FIG. 1O).
Table F provides the assay procedure for evaluating exemplary compounds 1, 2, and 3 having DOTA complexed to Y³⁺ (FIG. 1H, FIG. 1L, FIG. 1P) but without addition of the anti-DOTA antibody to the assay. Nestin-specific signal was not seen without anti-DOTA chelate antibody (FIG. 1H, FIG. 1L, FIG. 1P).
FIG. 2 confirms that the disclosed compounds can be detected by a mass spectrometry imaging device in an assay. Images were generated using a MIBIscope I multiplexed ion beam imaging device from IONpath (Menlo Park, Calif.). The parenthetical terms 1:4K, 1:2K, and 1:1K refer to the dilution of the compound used in the assay. In particular, compounds 1 and 3 complexed to Pr³⁺ (FIGS. 2A, 2C) or Y³⁺ (FIGS. 2B, 2D) were detected directly in human placenta samples using the mass spectrometry imaging device.
